We have some DVDs that have circulated more than 200 times, for example, and almost 100 that have been checked out at least 100 times. We're wondering if other media centers have any policies or rules of thumb about replacing videos automatically if they have circulated "x" number of times or whether they only replace them when they are damaged or missing. Any information that you might have learned from video stores on this topic would also be appreciated. > > Thanks in advance,> > John DeSantis> Dartmouth College> > _______________________________________________> Videolib mailing list> Videolib@library.berkeley.edu> http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/videolib>
